Justin Bieber is making headlines for all the wrong reasons following a bizarre series of Instagram posts shared on Father’s Day.
The 31-year-old pop star, who recently became a father, left fans stunned when he posted a cryptic message that read, “I’m a dad that’s not to be f—ed with”—complete with a middle finger emoji. The post quickly stirred confusion and concern among his followers, especially given its timing and tone.

What followed raised even more eyebrows. Bieber continued his social media spree by sharing screenshots that appeared to reference a falling out with a friend through text messages. The unclear context left fans guessing, sparking a flurry of worried and confused reactions in the comments.

But the most controversial post came later—when the Peaches singer uploaded a photo of a smoked blunt. The image drew immediate criticism from fans, many of whom reminded the singer of his new responsibilities as a father. One concerned fan wrote, “Justin, remember about Jesus. He loves you,” while another pleaded, “Chill Bieber. Take a step back. Your kid is looking up to you.”
The online reaction was swift and divided. While some joked about the singer’s erratic posts, others expressed genuine concern for his well-being. “We joke, but he’s clearly going through something. I hope he gets the help he needs,” one user commented. Another empathized with Bieber’s wife, Hailey, writing, “Hailey is strong. She supported you through your reckless phase, but this might be the toughest one yet.”
Bieber, who has been open about his mental health struggles in the past, has not responded to the criticism or clarified the meaning behind his recent posts. As fans continue to speculate, many are simply hoping the pop star finds peace—for his own sake and that of his growing family.
